Question
Is it permissible to eat Pat Haba B'Kisnin for the Seudat Havra'ah, and if so, does one need to eat the amount that establishes a meal and recite Birkat Hamazon?
Answer
It is permissible to be lenient and conduct the Seudat Havra'ah with Pat Haba B'Kisnin that does not have a mouth (and it does not need to be specifically round), and there is no need to eat the amount that establishes a meal.
Source
This is what the poskim have written, and their reasoning is that even Pat Haba B'Kisnin has the status of bread, but one is not obligated to recite Birkat Hamazon over them since they are eaten temporarily, and therefore they can be considered bread even when eating less than the established amount.
